Truly this spot would be an easy 5 stars but the service is fairly lacking, if I could rate traits individually it would be 3 stars. It's a small lounge so when you walk in they'll tell you to sit anywhere but that might be your last interaction if you don't kinda catch someone walking by. Getting a glass of water and a drink order in took a good while, and ordering food felt like I was asking the waiter for a heavy favor, it made the experience feel uncomfortable. But the food and drinks really make this place worth it. The frosted water Lily cocktail was delicious, it packed a flavorful punch of coconut with violet and once we did order food the plates came out quick. Each dish was delicious and well worth the cost.

You walk in to wood paneled walls and a staircase leading to the loft area upstairs The bar encompasses the real estate on the first floor.

I had a reservation as the bar has a more intimate vibe with limited seats. I overheard others having to wait over an hour without a reservation. We got some oysters and ordered a few drinks. The vibe is cute and the decor is lovely. The drinks arrived promptly and I enjoyed the Valentine's Day special with passion fruit. The other drink from the regular menu was not memorable.

Enormous beer selection. Take some time to review their list and look at their rotating tap list and specials for updates. Don't see a beer style you'd like? Just ask. The bartenders have great recommendations and sometimes there even beers they've gotten that aren't in the list. No food. I should have asked if it's okay to bring your own. Usually that's cool. Great service. The bartenders get after it! Bathrooms are about what you'd expect in a bar open late night. A little dirty, a little cramped.

I love an inventive twist on almost any dish, but I do not enjoy tartare on a pave as much as I do on a traditional crostini, or even a potato chip. You need something with a harder, crispier texture to balance the softness of raw beef. Flavor and presentation were great, just a personal preference. My dining companions both got pasta. My cousin loves her bolognese, my husband was lukewarm about his pasta as well, due to the sauce being on the thinner side. Again, flavor on point, just a personal texture preference. For the second visit, two of us got dishes featuring their steak. We both ordered medium rare, and the steak was medium well done. It was of excellent quality, just cooked too far. The ambiance is beautiful and the service is always very informative.

Drinks are cheap and so are their Hennessy shots at $7 each! Plenty of seating available, but everyone seems to congregate at the bar. I soon found that the bartender is such a hoot and so friendly! There's a couple of pool tables. The bathrooms are a little "shocking." I was looking for the women's restroom and when the lights automatically turned on, I saw lots of 70s models posing nude. So this is what regular bodies look like before the surgery era! The men's restroom was more classy with people smoking cigars.

I'm glad it's a place that can supports the dolls but the drinks are watered down, it's sticky everywhere, and the crowd leans young straight college students who are avoiding all the other rotted and predatory straight bars in Salt Lake.
